Hi, I didn't yet try this in 7.1, but in 7.0 it drove me crazy: why the 'secure' kernel, which I'd like to use because of its name ;-) is ONLY SMP? There are still issues with SMP in Linux, and on a UP machine it's at least a bit slower and less stable anyway. I tried to recompile it as UP, but got compiler errors in some headers. Of course, one can always download and recompile a stock kernel, but the name 'secure' implies that some useful patches are applied, isn't it? Has something changed with this in 7.1? Thank you Alexander
